Last weekend I installed Windows 8 Pro from Dreamspark. As this is the final version and having a hotmail account I used my hotmail account in the setup. However I was amazed to see on the Start screen my profile picture from Facebook (linked previously to hotmail), my full name from hotmails profile of me and my hotmail address. I was amazed not because Microsoft have this info but because if I was sitting in a public place, anyone within 10-15 feet of me would also have this information just by looking at my laptop screen. Considering that a hotmail account is a requirement of using and purchasing metro apps, from 26th of October this will be something that a lot of people may have to consider. Any thoughts PS First time poster so unsure if this qualifies as a good question for here or not.
